La casa de Max is a chamber opera inspired by the work of Argentinean writer Julio Cortazar. It is an intimate piece, a whispering tale of the often unusual paths that our mind might take in order to deal with feelings of isolation and loneliness.

An 'interior' opera that fuses classic and electronic music with a tango flare, in direct connection with Buenos Aires, the city where the action takes place.
